To the semi vs To semi

Both phrases are not complete and do not make sense on their own. However, if we assume that 'semi' refers to something specific, then 'to the semi' could be used to indicate movement or direction towards that specific 'semi'. On the other hand, 'to semi' could be used in a context where 'semi' is acting as a noun or an adjective modifying a noun.
